I spent this morning with a blackbird. It's the first opportunity I've had for some time to go to my allotment and do some digging. Each time I turned over the earth the blackbird swooped down and plucked up a fat juicy worm. He was not scared of me at all and after 2 hours I'm surprised he could still fly!
It's hard to work when you've got a jack russell wedged behind your back. We call him Reggie the wedgie when he does this, it's usually on a cold morning & he's seeking warmth. I sometimes wish I was a dog in a good home!
On Saturday I went to have a drink with a friend whose birthday it was. As the room filled up with women, the noise level rose to fever pitch. It sounded like an aviary full of birds. I had to laugh.
I knew it was coming up but I can't believe I've missed it by a day. My blog was one year old yesterday - I started on 5th March 2007! I do sometimes wonder why I'm doing this but the actual task of it has inspired me and I'm definitely becoming more creative.
